Snow Day Fun

February 3, 2021

I watched my boyfriend Dr. Nebraska patiently dig his car out of 17 inches of dense snow this morning. I kept peeking out the window to check his progress (and to make sure he was OK… we live on a busy street.) I think it was only a matter of minutes before the coat came off and he was breaking a sweat.

The kind of snow that hit the Tri-State was a dense, wet snow. Fun for snowpeople and snowball fights… challenging to clean up though.

After the day was done, we decided to go outdoors and have a little fun. My snow pants don’t exactly button up anymore (thanks pandemic), but with the coat over it no one could tell and we had a little snowball throwing… AND we paid respect to this beautiful snow woman I wish I could take credit for!

Chris and Tara Get Engaged!

January 25, 2021

A few months ago as I was just starting to get things rolling with my photography, my good friend Tara asked if I’d be available to do her sister’s maternity shoot. The concept was SO cool: Melissa lives and works with horses on a beautiful piece of property (so I had been told.)

As the date of the shoot was approaching, I asked Tara if we could schedule some time to scope out the property to see where we would ideally like to shoot, see how the light hits, etc… and then things got exciting.

Hearing that we would be headed to this beautiful piece of property to meet Tara and her sister, Tara’s partner (and one of our other besties), Chris jumped at the opportunity.

Eric and I almost died with excitement for these two. Then the plan went into action: Chris coordinated with Melissa, so that when they were done horseback riding, he would be there hiding in the backyard area waiting with the ring. OMG.

Now from a photography perspective, surprise proposals aren’t the easiest, for the obvious reason: one party has no idea what’s going on. We got there early and had a practice run with Eric standing in for Tara, praying the plan would go off without a hitch.

What a romantic moment it was! Just beyond beautiful… Tara, who is not easily surprised truly didn’t expect a thing. We were so thrilled to be a part of such a special life moment.

Here’s how the rest of the shots came out:

Aren’t they a gorgeous couple? Which photo is your favorite?

Photography Highlights

January 17, 2021

While this year wasn’t easy, I dedicated a lot of time to learn and and evolve as a photographer.

It’s strange to go back even just a few months and see how my editing style has changed. While I tend to favor the creative/dramatic/moody/punchy captures, some of my edits feel over-done when I look back. I’m still proud of these accomplishments and picked out a few highlights to share from this past year.

If you’re an influencer in the New York City area, I am willing to collaborate and offer you a complimentary 1 hour (socially distanced/outdoor) session in exchange for you promoting/tagging my work on your platform. Please send me a message on my contact page, or DM me on Instagram (@wendywildradio).
